I had to laugh when I saw the photos of the hammock. I was laying in bed a couple nights ago trying to think of another design and came up with something just like this! It'll be very interesting to see the video and hear more about this one.

I can't buy something without first considering whether I could just make it myself instead. How'd I get so screwed up?

Tarp up first?

Any idea if you can hang the tarp first in case it was raining? I am thinking you could still use the normal rope and attach the carabiners to the rope and get the tarp deployed first. Then come back and hang the hammock in the safe area out of the wet rain.

Just checking. What are your thoughts fourdog? Also went to a local distributor of EXPED stuff and they have not heard yet about this system. Can we purchase direct or do we have to go through a distributor?

There would be no problem to deploy the tarp before hand . You would just need two seprate added lines.
I will be carring it and now taking preorders for late March delivrery.
Local distributor will also or they should be able order it for you then.
Not all retailers want to sell hammocks or are able to service that product.
